25-year-old Damon C. Suiter was booked on November 18th for stalking his estranged wife, Cassie Suiter. In January, Cassie reached out to the police about her husband repeatedly texting and calling her with threats to take her life and others. Cassie explained that she blocked Damon’s phone number, but he continued to call from different numbers. Officers reviewed a text message from Damon stating, “Cassie, I swear to God I’ll attack you too if you think this is a joke. I’m almost to my pistol, then it’s you.” He also stated, “I’ll be there in 65 minutes to kill everyone inside that building.” The officers reviewed weeks of threatening text messages from Damon. When officers spoke to Damon over the phone, he told them that he was wearing body armor and had a gun. He advised that he would shoot the police officers in the back when he got to the Mike’s Ice Cream Shop. Officers recorded the phone call to document the statements, and Cassie recognized Damon’s voice to confirm that he was the one speaking. The statements that Damon made caused Metro officers to enact safety precautions at the ice cream shop caused Clarksville PD to respond to his home to gather information, and caused THP to keep a lookout for his vehicle as he stated he was driving from Clarksville to Nashville to commit the shooting.
Damon C Suiter of Kingsbury Rd., in Clarksville, TN, was booked into the Metro Nashville Jail on November 18, charged with aggravated stalking, false report, and harassment. He is free on a $15,000 bond.
